HOBBLE CREEK CANYON, Utah County, Aug. 10, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Law enforcement officials have identified the 18-year-old victim of a fatal rollover crash that happened Thursday in Hobble Creek Canyon.
The victim was Kiana Elizabeth Campbell, of Mapleton.
Utah County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the scene, on Left Fork Hobble Creek Canyon Road near the intersection of Bartholomew Canyon Road, just after 2 p.m.
According to a statement from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, witnesses reported that the SUV rolled, and the only occupant, now identified as Campbell, was ejected. Officials say the victim was not wearing a seatbelt.
Officers from Mapleton Police Department also responded, along with ambulance personnel from Springville Fire and Ambulance. A medical helicopter was requested, but the victim was taken by ground ambulance because the helicopter was too far away.
“The woman sustained serious head injuries. She was transported to Provo’s Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, where she later died. Her body was taken to the Medical Examiner’s office in Taylorsville.”
Investigators said speed may have been a factor in this crash.
